À propos
From There to Here: Walking for Tomorrow is a compelling exhibition that reconfigures the narrative of accumulation and erasure. Through her concept of UN/making, Dr. Jill Price leads visitors on a journey of walking, witnessing, and regeneration—transforming shoreline debris into sculptural cyanotype works that speak to ecological resilience, the overlooked agency of discarded materials, and the slow violence of plastic contamination in our shared ecosystems MacLaren Art Centre.
Price’s scholarly-artistic practice is rooted in rich interdisciplinary foundations—she holds an MFA from OCAD University and completed a PhD in Cultural Studies at Queen’s University. Her work is informed by textile activism, museum ethics, and environmental justice discourse, and is supported by SSHRC, Ontario Arts Council, and other notable institutions MacLaren Art Centre.
Framed as both a gallery and performative experience, the exhibition invites reflection on material mortality and collective responsibility—modeling art as a form of ecological care, activism, and place-making.

UN/making Network
Initially supported in part by Queen's University and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the UN/making Network is a Cultural Studies PhD research-creation project inspired by creative thinkers and makers who undertake temporary, unexpected, necessary or durational acts of un/making to acknowledge the liveliness and agency of human and more-than-human beings often othered or rendered absent through anthropogenic perspectives and approaches to land.
Always at risk of encouraging the creation and consumption of more “stuff" or "unhappy objects", practitioners and practices featured on the UN/making Network site often engage at the intersections of art, ecology, post-colonial studies, geography, aesthetics, race theory, gender studies and activism to disrupt colonial, capitalist, patriarchal, and extractive systems that reify Euro-centric values and industrialist processes.
